Red Giant Japanese Mustard Seeds

Beautiful, large, Japanese type. Purple-red leaves with a delicious, strong, sharp, almost garlic-like, mustard flavor. Plants are extremely cold tolerant and mildly resistant to bolting. All parts of the plant are edible--roots, shoots, stems and leaves. Flavor is best when grown briskly so plant in fertile soil and keep well-watered. Start harvesting at 3" tall for baby mustard greens. Thin to 10" apart for mature heads. If the plants bolt, no worries! Harvest florets as they are tender and delicious too.

Harvest at any stage, micro-greens to baby leaf for salads and sandwiches, as well as flowers and seed pods. Mature leaves are excellent for pickling, cooking and juicing.

This is a stately plant sure to attract the eyes in the garden. The deep purple-red color becomes even more pronounced in cold weather.
